उत्तर
Chlorination of ethane:
\[\ce{C2H6 + Cl2 ->[Sunlight] C2H5Cl + HCl}\]
Conversion of ethyl chloride to ethanol:
\[\ce{C2H5Cl + KOH_{(aq)} -> C2H5OH + KCl}\]
Oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid:
\[\ce{C2H5OH + 2[O] ->[acidified K2Cr2O7] CH3COOH + H2O}\]
Thus,
\[\ce{C2H6 -> C2H5Cl -> C2H5OH -> CH3COOH}\]
